I had pretty much the same experience regarding the shower alone at the start and no touching afterward. I thought my masseur was named "Tong" but I guess it could have been Gon. He did have a major tattoo across his back and his behavior was very similar.

At the concluding shower I tried to soap his back and he said he didn't like that. I would have thought in a place like that some basics like showering together would have been de rigueur.

He responded well to me smoking him, but his attempts at a happy ending for me by hand were hopeless. He did resort to smoking me, but the overall experience was somewhat disappointing both in terms of the massage and the extras that are supposed to justify the higher price and tip.

Went to GM Massage a few nights ago with an out-of-town friend (http://www.gmmenmassage.com) I had gone before and was dissapointed (with the guy I chose and facilities), but thought I'd give it another try. This time the experience was good and not-so-good.

There were six guys working when we arrived (9:30 pm). Only one of the 14 guys pitctured on their web site was working.

So, first, here's the good part: the massage I had was well above average and the service I received left me completely satisfied. The guy I chose (22, with braces) knew both Thai and Swedish massage and switched easily between the two styles. He was also refreshingly passionate and versitile. Before and after we finished, he asked me if he could help me shower. And, when I said 'ok', he said 'thank you" . My friend said he was also quite happy with the service, but the massage was poor.

Now, the not-so-good part: the manager couldn't speak any English and had no idea how to help us select a masseur. I asked him (in Thai) about the 90 minute massage advertised for 490 Baht on their website (see: GM men massage club). He said the price for 90 minutes was was 600THB and the minimum tip 1000 (again not 800 THB as advertised). I asked for their menu (price list) and was told 'mai mee' (don't have). I found it amusing when I asked him (on behalf of my friend) if one of the masseurs was a btm, and the Manager shouted across the room to get an answer from the guy. All the boys giggled. My friend wasn't so amused. The facilities here are below the standard of any place I've been before: smelly towels; brownish-red faded sheets on foam-massage beds; athestically sterile rooms. The rooms do have air-con and hot showers. (If you like almost grungy places, this could be heaven!)

Overall, my masseur made the experience enjoyable, but I suspect this place may not be around for very long.

It's located in the ARI area, not to far from V Club, where I went last month and was ignored by their manager until I left...

More later.

Sorry for wasting your time with the review of GM. It is now closed according to two former staff that I bumped into this evening. (They said it's going to be turned into a women's spa.) I fear it's the first of several places that will go under during this season of continuing political turmoil and economic downturn.

On inspecting the Senso website, I noticed there is a masseur called "Tong", whom I recognise as someone who has been forever changing venues. I have seen him in many places, either in person or as a face on a website of a massage establishment. He is young and cute and well-mannered, but is straight and INTO NOTHING! He is believed to be from Chaiyaphum province. On the Senso website, he is not to be confused with "Ton", who is gay.

Seems they have two websites.

SENSOMENCLUB

>> welcome to SENSO, saladaeng bangkok.

The guy I had was definitely not Ton. I think it could have been Tong, although he didn't look that much like the one in the picture. I'm almost certain the boy was gay though.

He had no problem with being smoked, made a poor attempt at giving me a handjob & then did smoke me, but he certainly made no effort beyond that. The massage was neither a good massage nor in any way erotic.

When I came in he was the only boy there, but the manager said twice there were a couple of other boys upstairs. Maybe he was hinting I would be better off trying someone else. But if they know he sucks, in the un-fun way, why don't they tell him to shape up or ship out?

I suspect he was often told to ship out. That's why he keeps moving from place to place.

- The former HIS MSG. PARLOR has been replaced by some office-like space fronted with tinted and plate-glass windows making it impossible to see-in.

so that makes in 1 month:
GM-massage, soi Aree, closed
Albury, Sukhimvit soi 11, about to close or has done so already
Bodyline, Suttisarn, Sapan Kwai-only does foned dates now, not permanently open for walk-ins
Walked by several Silom area venues on suns around 16.00-and at that time it was brisk bisnis with many just having the odd boy sitting outside. Even Indra had just 4/5 available. Though a lot of that work seems normal-feet, legs etc. Maybe its only after dark that the other bisnis starts. I often ride along Phetburi rd.-and there you have 5/6 or so of those giant barn-line female massage places (ab, aab nouat=wash, shower, massage)-with names like Evita, Lolita, Hawaii-they must hold dozens if not 100s of ladiues. Dito on RamIX rd-compared to that the boys pale in significance.

Yesterday is my Day 1 in Bangkok also my first time to Senso ~5:30pm. Only 5 boys there. For oil massage 1 1/2 hrs for 900 bt Min tips 1200 bt. The boy(Tom) was good. Shower with me and massage was good. I was asking a hard massage, which was good.

I'm not vsplayboy, but I did visit Senso last month (see my post of Jan 19). I had a masseur who was gay and the entire experience was quite good. But the extras were not what I hoped. He was not an experienced bottom and the eventual hand job was just so-so.

Bago mentioned eariler that there is a Ton and a Tong. He does not have good words for Tong, despite his being cute.

Quote |

Yes, it was Tong who I had and he was cute which is why I chose him without looking at anyone else, but if that was a typical Senso experience, I'd rather spend some time on the Skytrain and walking to get to Hero.

Just when to Fan Club today 5:30pm ~15 boys are there. This is my first time to Fan Club. Mama's english is good. He is quite helpful. He can tell you the boy is Gay or not, size, top/bottom. I pick the one who is the first one has eye contact with me, his name is NEW. He is gay, bottom. He gets hard since we are shower together. He really enjoy to be a bottom. I love it ;-) 900bt for 1 1/2 hr cream massage, but the mama doesn't tell me how much is the min tips. When I walk out from Fan Club it was 7:30pm. 2 hrs goes too fast.

-- I am interested to see that LISA'S MASSAGE BEAUTY SPA. now has a couple of masseurs..
- Possibly, because of this branch's loc'n. - opp. TAWANA BKK. HOTEL, 121, Tnn. Suriwong - it realized that with only masseuses it was not tapping into an alternative source of customers and income?
- Certainly today, (17th.), when I passed-by both masseurs were v. pressing for me to avail of their svces, even emphasizing that there are pte. rooms and showers!
- tel.: (02)-635 6140-41..
- I note that amongst its svces. it offers Herbal scrub & Aroma oil: 1,500.Bh. for 2.hrs., (PLUS TIP., of course!),.

-- Usual disclaimer as I've not availed of its svces. -- Bibi.. --

I just came back from Body Club at Soi 8. Had a fantastic massage and sexually satisfied. 1 month ago, I went there and had a 24 yr old K.Bob. Speaks good english, been there for 1 year. Not only he satisfy you sexually (mostly oral), he gives a very good massage. This time, I only wanted him again and the minute I walked in, there he was and he greeted me by name, too. We had a great 90 mins today. Strongly recommended

Anyone been to Apsara recently? I haven't been for about 6 months and I wonder if it is still the same (all the boys offer a happy ending)?
